Well I should have known, since Philip is my son... that he would be a beach bum for sure! My mom, Philip and I went to my grandmommie's condo at Pinnacle Port (Carillon Beach/Panama City Beach) just the three of us for a fun little relaxing getaway in July. We of course had a blast and didn't want to come home... the week started when we went to the "Groovin on the green" concert in Carillon on Monday night and Philip loved it so much that he was even up on stage dancing with the blues brothers. The night ended with Philip sleeping 11 hours straight through the night for his first time ever. When I told Phil about it, he asked if I was the most well rested in months... I said, "are you kidding, I didnt get any sleep - I was up all night checking to see if he was still breathing"... oh the joys of motherhood. I also told Phil the next day when he slept through the night again that he might have to hire a police escort to get me out of the condo since Philip was sleeping through the night... isn't it funny how the simple things in life become so important again when you have a little one around?! But this was just the first of many long sleeping nights... ever since our first night at the beach, Philip has been sleeping 11-12 hours a night. I don't know why Phil and I were so worried about him sleeping... afterall with us as his parents - he had to be a good sleeper... we love to sleep more than just about anything! The next day, we took Philip swimming for his first time in a big pool... he loved it and loved even more kicking his little feet and splashing the water. I think however he got a little upset towards the end as he confused swimming with bathtime and all that was going through his little mind was "get me naked now" which we of course didn't do until we got back to the condo and had a real bath. Then, we took Philip to Seaside and of course had lunch at the famous Bud and Allys on the beach. He loved it and was the cutest baby boy in town... but then again I am his mother so I probably would say that! We also of course had some lazy afternoons on the beach... and Philip slept like a little baby in his infant cabana tent in the shade listening to the sound of the waves (Does he have the life or what?!) On the last night, we rode up and down the PCB strip to look at all the activity and Philip was already hanging out the window with his hands in the air... by the time he is a teenager there will be no telling what this little boy is getting into. And last but not least, we had a wonderful time at night just watching the sunset on the beach... it truly was a trip to remember. Thank you so much grandmommie and granddaddy for letting us go to the condo (or to your cacoon as my 3 year old niece Alli calls it). After a wonderful week... we headed home and Philip was passed out in his car seat with his lovey dreaming of course about nothing else but our next trip to the beach!
Hey, look at me... I'm up on stage with the Blues Brothers at the Groovin on the green concert
Are ya'll going to let me sing or what?!
Our little sleeper...
Kiss it mommy... that little boy just splashed water in my eye
Okay... so this is fun but I am getting sleepy
Me and my Gigi just swimming
Okay mom, so when do I get to get naked... isn't this my bathtime?
So this is Seaside... that is great and all - but when do I get to eat?!
Just snoozing in my cabana on the beach... now this is the life!
Look, my toes are sinking in the sand... this is so fun!
Can I sit in it too?
Leaving our Footprints...
... in the sand
ZZZZZ... when do we get to go back to the beach?!

Now that Jackson's SuSu knows you have a beach house near hers, (we are in Seagrove), we will have to coordinate trips together so the boys can play in the sand together. Jackson just had his 3rd trip to 30A last week. He hasn't been to Bud and Alley's though. He really wanted to go to The Red Bar but we told him he was just too young! Maybe his Mommy and Daddy will take him next visit.....
